HENRICO, Va. (WWBT) – A former Henrico Doctors’ Hospital NICU nurse charged with injuring a 5-month-old baby received more charges Monday afternoon.
Erin Strotman was initially charged with malicious wounding, child abuse, and neglect causing serious injury after an incident showing her mishandling a NICU baby on hospital surveillance video in November 2024.
On March 10, Strotman was charged with two more counts of malicious wounding and four other counts of child abuse and neglect. A bond status hearing was held Monday to determine that these new charges do not impact her current bond.
These six new charges include two new babies who were allegedly harmed by Strotman, meaning she is now charged with abusing three of the seven injured children who are being investigated.
She was granted a $25,000 bond on Feb. 12 with terms that include house arrest with her parents and wearing a GPS monitor.
She is also not allowed to be in the presence of minors or vulnerable adults or provide care to them.
Strotman is the only suspect in an investigation into the abuse of seven NICU babies in total between 2023 and 2024.
She faces a maximum sentence of 100 years if convicted of all these charges.
Strotman is back in court for a status hearing on March 20.
